ok thats funny.

Also now the PS eye is now rectangle, very similar to Kinect.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Sorry to disappoint you but Microsoft are the ones who copied Sony with the Kinect which is basically an enhanced PS2 Eyetoy. And according to your logic, Microsoft are big fans of Sony since they're going to use bluray disk drive on their upcoming Xbox. It would actually be safe to assume that everybody is a fan of Nintendo (since their using analog sticks) and the list goes on and. The truth is we're all huge fans of each other.

Think its more for the storage and that bluray is popular for movies lol. You could also say MS stole a PS3 exclusive :P

You know that enhanced version of PS eye is complete BS in that the only similarity between the two is that they have a camera lol. Gestures, voice commands, and non-gaming applications set kinect apart.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

every mouse has a scroll wheel.
every fridge, a light
every car a radio

sich is the nature of consumer goods.
if you leave ur competition with all the upgrades, you're just playing to lose.

it's like when people pick handicapped fighters in games when the obviously better character is available.

Not if Apple had any say.  If apple made a product with a scroll wheel they would sue everyone else who even thought of it, and so on.

They obviously liked Xbox smartglass - http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-announces-playstation-app-for-ios-android/

And they seem to think Kinect was a good idea - http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/PlayStation4-eye/

They obviously found much joy in a PC like architecture and development simplicity that Xbox always provided to devs.

 

Sure, why not?  Everyone takes a good idea if they see it.

Of course, the Playstation Eye came before Kinect, so you've got that one backwards, and I'm pretty sure the Xbox itself was a direct response to what Sony was doing with the PS1 and PS2.

So, yeah?


This. EyeToy came out back in 2003, I think... someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

ps eye is not kinect why do people keep trying to convince themselves. i had the eye toy i have the eye it is not kinect. it is apples and oranges. one can detect limbs in 3d space the other does silhouette detection. semantics dont apply.

anyway i kinda was looking forward to them actually doing something kinectish not sure how far they actually went. the 3d modeling thing was something id play with since i use modo, zbrush, mudbox etc... all the time. but that marionette thing was kinda stupid

 

smartglass was pure genius on ms part.

I'm not surprised. A more powerful camera with a greater sense if depth and wider field of view seems like a natural evolution with technology, similar to going from DVD to Blu Ray. In fact, I'm pretty sure many people expecting something like this for a while now. I know I did.
